| ![]() Here I go... I definitly approve of all the color variants that yorkies can come in. I think that they are all quite beautiful. I don't see how it is any different than blonde, red, and black hair in humans. I do get upset like everyone else that these colors are listed as rare. They are uncommon, at least I would say, as they keep popping up more often. I think this has to do with people being kinder to animals in general today. In the past these animals would have mor ethan likely been destroyed. Another thing I have to say I have a problem with is people complaining about the way YTCA prohibits these little guys from registry and competition. YTCA must have a policy regarding petition to its policies. Why is no one who owns a variant petitioning to change the standard? I am sure that there are enough people out there that would like to see more variation in our breed. Just because color variants are being allowed does not mean that the rest of the standard needs to be compromised. Does it? Really, why can't the standard read that coats can be of any color? I have also done quite a bit of research on the genetics of colors across a few species. I wanted to major in equine genetics having worked with horses for 7 years before graduating high school. Genetics is such a tricky thing to understand that one should stop and think before they make assumptions about breeders and bad habits. Sometimes genetics cannot be inhibited. Things can and do occur randomly in all species, it does not make them bad it just a little different. ![]() |

| ![]() I doubt very much if the YTCA is going to change the standard to include chocolates, partis or other non-standard colors as they just re-worded the standard to keep these colors from being shown. These colors have never been accepted by the YTCA or the first breeders of the Yorkie that developed the breed back in the 1800's. They have always bred for a metallic blue and shaded tan only.

![]() I learned about genetics from raising colorful Morgan horses - perlino, cremello, palomino, buckskin and dun. I now have a few golden Miniatures in addition to my parti colored yorkies.

| ![]() [QUOTE=TeddyandTiffy;2157227][quote=yorkiekist;2010839] ![]() Also, it has never been proven that Maltese was used to create this breed. The Wildweir ladies, who have done more research over seas(where the breed was developed) on this breed than anyone else has and got the breed started in the US, tend to believe not.

We'd have more luck petitioning the AKC than the YTCA. I believe that the first thing that needs to be done, is to form a club for the color variations, and set some standards, and go from there. | |

But no matter where the gene came from, it's there. | |

They can only be registered with the Kennel Club on their " Activity & Companion Dog Register" as a cross breed & can't be shown other than at Scruffts or other Exemption shows. | |
